I should probably start to worry about 32bit integers in some parts of Corona...

[lacilaci]

...couple of heavily displaced geo with high res 32bit exr for displacement and other high res textures all surrounded by lots of other scattered geometry and rendering it all at some huge resolution, and I believe even with 64Gigs of ram I'd be instantly on the edge of possibilities :D... Having the cash, I get a 3dboxx with 512GB ram :D lol... But yeah, for now I guess getting a 3770 with 32GB for half the price of 3930 and 64GB sounds pretty good...

ok, first person to get the overflow when trying to use 4G polygons gets free beer ;)

hi everyone

this week, my ressellers will loan me three xeon phi 5110p.
I could test corona on them if you can recompile corona for support xeon phi.

[Ondra]

It won't be that easy, so there will be no support in the immediate future.

[kahein]

corona don't use parallelism
It optimize for multicore right

[Ondra]

AFAIK phi acts as separate computer running linux. So I'll have to do DR first

[kahein]

DR ?

[Ondra]

distributed rendering

[kahein]

ah yeah distributed, if you can even do that it's great !

From Monday I will probably have access to a PC with an i7-3770k. Can't wait to test some ponies.

From my experience ponies play smoothly even on low-end devices...  even on mobile devices with android for example. Flash player doesn't need much to run :)

I'll try some cats, then.

hehe a good reason to get started on it :) DR DR DR DR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need DR.

Adding DR to Corona is like supercharing your naturally aspirated V8 !
